Enola Holmes 2
dir. Harry Bradbeer (2022)
This sequel benefits from being written specifically for the screen, not constrained by adaption. Millie Bobby Brown very much earns her pay as leading lady, while Bradbeer’s direction is again in keeping with Enola’s personality, embracing her defiance of mores and convention.

Bradbeer’s lively direction notwithstanding, the story is too slight to sustain a two-hour film treatment. The best scenes by far are those pairing Millie Bobby Brown (Enola) and Louis Partridge (Tewkesbury), who together could productively be retro-scripted into Attack of the Clones.
